Review summary

Princes does cruising right , Royal class ships are kinda of the same concept (restaurants, layouts, spas ) the ship “Royal” was their first of the received ships so it wasn’t a new ship feeling but still beautiful! Spa pass to the enclave is a must . Book the specialty restaurants for sure, try to get to the ship early to book tables and shows .

Ports of call

Naples, Italy

You get lots of choices here on this stop , Capri was ours . We took a 60 min ride on the Ferry boat (think it costs about $20-30 euros each) drops you off the island of Capri , from there we hired a boat and driver to take us to private tour the whole island and caves. A must see !! A couple of tips . Try to hook up with another couple to offset the cost of the private tour , buy a bottle of champagne and some plastic cups (there’s a supermarket on the pier on Capri) get some fruits and water to bring on the boat as well. This tour will last the whole day so be prepared , lunch and drinks . But well worth it . Dont be late to get back to your ship

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

Amazing place to start the cruise , people are so friendly over there and want to help. If you’re a person who loves food , but in a passion way, Food porn . If you are spending a night there before the cruise You must reserve a table at Funky Gourmet where you will spend a night out with a fourteen course tasting menu that you will never forget

Wasn’t my cup of tea, lots of churches to see and history, but overall not much as far as food and relaxing stuff .

Greece’s most beautiful places to see. Scenery is to die for , rent some ATV’s and explore the island . Food is great anywhere for lunch
